German militaria

Neat original pocket edition Backgammon game. These small and popular games were used by the troops to overcome the often long waits on and behind the front. Produced by Wm. F. Drueke & Sons. Nice personal item in good and complete condition!

Ignition key for the Glühzündapparat 37 and the Glühzündapparat 39. This example is nicely marked with an WaA stamp.  Hard to find as a spare and perfect to complete a set!

Textbook Westwall medal or Deutsche Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen by August Menze & Sohn Wien VI. Textbook piece with original pouch and ribbon.

Very nice original Heer/Waffen-SS Collar liner or Kragenbinde. These collar liners where standard in every tunic but are virtually always missing from the garment! Nice example with pressed paper button!

Beautiful red labeled organizer bag intended to store various equipment or personal items for Gebirgsjäger troops. These colour coded storage bags were intended to keep the large Gebirgsjäger Rucksack clear and organized. In total a Gebirgsjäger Rucksack would have contained five different bags: yellow, red, green, blue and a shoe bag. The coloured label would indicate what was carried inside!

Beautiful and rare Göffel marked W.S.M. 41 Rostfrei which indicates production by Walter Solbach Metallbau in 1941. This Göffel is made out of stainless steel (Rostfrei) which is very unusual. Probably one of the rarest Göffels to find in great condition!

Original Waffen-SS rank for a SS-Rottenführer in good used condition.

Excellent original chinstrap for Heer/Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) EM enlisted mens visor cap. The chinstrap is nicely marked with an ink stamp Rahm & Kampmann, Wuppertal 1938. The chinstrap is unissued and in good usable condition and is very rare to find as a spare!

Beautiful period shaving kit constructed out of red coloured bakelite. The kit contains a brush, a safety razor, 2 shaving powder containers and a foldable pocket sized mirror. Typical 1930’s / 1940’s men’s shaving kit made almost entirely out of bakelite. Nice period example in great and complete condition!

Original K98 rifle carrying sling end piece or Haltestück in good used condition. This part is often missing from the sling and finding a spare is really hard. Very rare original spare part for the K98 sling!

Stunning unmarked first pattern orange coloured butterdish or Fettbüchse in great, undamaged condition! Nice example which has initials scratched into the bottom part. Unmarked textbook examples are harder to find than the marked examples!

Textbook US Compass marked W & L. E. Gurley in good working condition.

Textbook original Khaki allied forces helmet net. This type could be seen on the helmets of most allied forces: Canadian, British and US. Excellent example with small holes and rather thin thread. Would look perfect on a US M1 or a British MKII helmet!

Rare contrast filters that snap onto the eyecups of wartime binoculars. Used in dark or extremely light circumstances these would improve contrast and thus visibility. These where standard with all Panzer binoculars, but fit the full range of wartime field binoculars.

Textbook black wound badge or Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz. The wound badge is marked 107 indicating production by Carl Wild.
